The bill amends the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (Mcare) Act to include a new section that prohibits insurers from taking adverse actions against health care providers based solely on their provision of legal reproductive health care services to out-of-state patients. Specifically, it protects providers who prescribe medication to terminate a pregnancy via telemedicine, as long as these services are permitted under Pennsylvania law. The bill defines "adverse action" to include actions such as refusing to renew contracts, reporting providers to authorities for practices that comply with Pennsylvania law, and making unfavorable changes to insurance coverage terms.

Additionally, the bill outlines definitions for key terms, including "reproductive health care services," which encompasses a range of medical, surgical, counseling, or referral services related to the reproductive system. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
